which came up in her household during the year past. Hof:tr as possible 1 was not to be annoyed by it. if You were sent for on the M.noflvcen;ber to zo to the house. A. No. I was sent

for to go to MRS. morse's. Q,. I said to th house where she was? A. Dut then she Is not referring to that period. Q. One moment. Don't go too fast. Her difficulties were made kaown to yoa then, were they not? A. Some of her difficulties were made known. Hut you ask me the interpretation of that letter. Q. Ye. A. 1 Interpret it by saying that I understand it to refer not to the periods of 1370, but to the ssquent period, from 1S7D totheaate. Q. Why. sir. It was written on May 3. IbTi, and speaks of the compllcationa of the pist year. A. Oh, lhn it does include :t. i did hot notice toe date of it. (J. It does include L? A. it does include that. Q. She doe not, as you thinx refer to the lact that you wen there on the jfceraijer previous, and heard what domestic diflcalties tuen nisted? A. That did not occur to me. i Didn't it occur to you that there was some diificnity that she was lalwrins: under bar. she alluded to? A. Ittouubt it very likely there were many, and 1 think, so yet. t. Don't you think it was thli dtiiicalty that sbe had crnfossed to her busband? A. Ho. sir. li. And made him promise not to reveal it? A. I don't beiieve any such thlm: as that. (J. Yoa do not? A. No, sir. I believe it lnciuded all the K-cne of her trouble with her husband on my account. O. W'il you te'.l tue what ditüculty. or what trouble, or w hat suffering there had Leen curirg the past year. 1 mean the year prceed D the writlrig of this letter In which the made reitreuce to it. and which had not bee a made known to you? A. There was a great deal. sir. of which subsequently 1 became awaie. H. Subsequent to tha receipt of this letter? A. Yes. ti. You did not Interpret It in the light ol that know!ed?a? A. No, but I now see. Ilut inU rpretln j the letter in the iizht of the knowledge that you had on the day that it was received? A. I say J. One moment. Will yon tell me what suHer-in or what trouble she referred to there that bad not been made known to you? A. I have told you already that whatever she meant in that letter, 1 don't remember bow I interpreted at the time I rend it, and you ast me what I interpret it now, and I now say ihatl ULderstaud it differently. (J. 1 don't ak yoa how you interpret it now. Did you regard it as referring to a DIFICULTY BETWEEN HERSELF AND HER HUSBAND which was not made known to you on the 14th of December, when you were at Mrs. Morse'? A. I can'tsay that I interpreted it bo, fjr I doa'U I remember what Impression it rasde on my mind at the time. Q. .Tou did learn efter ward, however, that Mrs. Tilton ha t confessed to her husband, on the 3d of July of that year, lSTO.dld you not? A. I heard that she had, during thattlme, cojfefsed to him an Inordinate affoction for me. (. Didn't you hear that she confessed to him tnat you had made improper advances? A. I don't think that I understood if in the July interview. H. Did not you understand it from Thxlore Tilton ou the ulphtof December 30? A. No, I don't think that 1 did. It may have been, i was in a . (2. Don't speak of your condhion. I want to know now positively whether yon dii understand. on July 3, 7u, that the charge of improper approach's by you was made aninst you? A. Yes (with a rising inflection.) tj. l'iease answer? A. My reply is tint my mind was, lb I recollect, then in a stat whi:h was not in accordance wi'h the truth, that is, 1 did not understand the truth, as it subsequently appeared tobe. Q. Didn't Mr. Tilton, on tho night ot tho 3 'th of Leceniber, sav to yon, that you had in .de improper advances to his wife, and that lie had evidences of it oa the Hd of July previous? A. I don't recollect that, as according to my correct rt collection . Q. 1 ieud from this letter: "My weapons were love, a large, untiring generosity, and nest hiding." What did you understand those weapons were used for? A. I now under. stand what they were ued for. 1 don't remember what 1 then understood. Q. tshe says: "In ail the sad complication of the past, iny endeavor was to entirely keep from you nil suffc-r-ins:?" A. Yes, sir. Q. ,4l'o he:ir myself alone, leaving you forever norjnt of It." The weapons I suppoie were to tiTeotaate that endeavor, were they not? A. Well, that is O,. llt-adincl "More love, a laraer untiring geue os'ty and nest-hiding." Don't you understand tha; that was the uso that she put these weapons to, namely to effectuate the endeavor to keep from you a 1 sufferings? A. 1 can not s,iy what I then understoodI know perfectly well what the leUer seems to me now to mean. Q. Wont you be kind enough to explain what yoa understood at tnit time NEöT I1IDINO to mean? A No, sir: I cau not. . Had you o belief on the subject? A. I have no recollec tion of the state of mind produced by that letter. (Handed a letter.! I think I wrote this in the latter part of January, 1S72. It was written in reply to an answer from Mrs. Tilton.- I don't know why the ordinary salutation was omitted, or the oidinary signature, but it conld have bH?n for no reason. Lp to this time 1 thought Sir. Tilton had ttansie;red her afl'ectious to me. 1 tad met her In the February and May prior to tho writlDg of this letter. I saw her . on one occasion when she came with her baby in a carriage to Moul ton's. 1 think I met her in the lall of 1S71 at her house. This lutervlew lasted thii ty minutes. Mrs. Tilton did not know that I had a ltnated her a flections". 1 don't remember anyi hire being sail about the charges of improper prop"K.iis to her or trie retraction letter, or its recalling, uo word ot admonition. No word of revoke parsed between lis, but there wss a scriptural admonitiou. The party o.itside who wss to be consoled by Mrs. Tilton, I presume, was mvself. and tbi u to be dene by her owt well bein tn her household, and in toother way. I d dn t expect to be cheered by the letters of "true inwarruess" which 1 asked her to send me. I am unable to explain those terms unless 1 am allowed to do so. I s-iid it would be safe because she requested that these letters with regard to her inwardness,. should not be allowed to fall into Moaiton's hands. She understood that some r,f her letters had been given hlrn. I nnierstcod ho from what he said. when I said It would be safe because my sister was there. I meant they would not go astray and f 11 Into other hanus. 1 received a letter from Mrs. Tllton after this, out L don t rec ollect that I wrote any other. iSacvrn exhibit 18. dated 1st January. 172.1 1 don l recollect how ivent these letters to her. I sent the lettern of the 7th of February by Mrs. Moulion but I don't know how I sent the others. I iid her I would be In New Haven that week because 1 thought she would be interested. I didn't write- to tell this to any other member of my congrega tion, x may nave i :id mem so. x aid not want to account U her for my absence. I went to see her but not by appointment. 1 don I remember that I waa asked'to call, but presume it was in tae daytime. I went to make a call on her, bat never spoke oa any other i hau religions topics. I ommunleited to her the lact that my wife was about to take the boat for llavant and Florida. Ou i hursday 1 went to New Haven. This was not the time I met Tilton oa the cars. The conver sation between us was not confined entirely to rellxlous snbjects. (Shown another letter.) 1 called on her three times before the writing of thisletter. I think it was written in the fall of lft7i. 1 received it by Florence's bringing me a note about her mother s belce in trouble. 1 wrote an auswer, stallni; that I would see her Frldav next, fllanded exhibit).) 1 donl re collect the receipt of this letter, or wha. 1 did with lt. 1 suppose 1 took H to Moulton that it might be safe. 1 don't recollect thst I explained what it meant. The date is October 24. There is uo year given, nor do 1 recollect it. I can only tlx th") da?e Kuyestively. as the year In whicli Slay ßrmishaw was married. O. Let us read it and see it it will bring itto vour recollection. ( Keadin Alis, Mone letter): 'My dear son :"' lVrhaps you may as well state whv she called vou her sou? a. well, we wer at a wedding which 1 attended ; 1 think it was May. r.ra-isbaw'g, bnt-1 ata not now certain about that, and In the off parlor, the back iar lor, Mrs. Morue and I were tarown together, and she was stating to me her TRIALS AND TROUBLES, among others, that she was separated from her children, and that her sons we?e not living with her, and that her daughter was substantially separated from" her, and she was in great trial She had nobody to adviso with or to consult, and 1 said to her, "Well, consult with me aa if I was vour son. 1 will give yoa all the help I can ti.

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY AriUL 22 1875

A. I don't know, sir. Q. Yon have no Judgment on that subject? A. No. sir; none y. You think that la the way she came to address you as" My dear son?" A. I know no otner way. Q. Because ou told her ta consul, yoa 13 if you wer. her son? A. Ilecause the came to me saying that she had no son or to person to consult, and I said consult me. Q. Well, perhaps this last sentence will throw some Itehtupon the subject (reading). "Ihave told Darkng. I fell 1 could in safety to yoursilf atd all concerned. You would be all to this endearing name. Am I mistaken? Signedf Mother." Was there any suggestions made between you andrer that give rise to that expression? A. N.ne that I remember, sir. t. Dil you answer that letter? A. Not that I recollect, sir. Q.I will read further ajid sea if it will throw any light upon the subject, (rfading) "Do yon know I twlnk it s:raD2eyou shou'd ask toe to call youeon." Did you ask her to call you son? A. In no other way than I have stated. Q. Dli ycu explain auy of these thints to"MouI'oa when you carried the let ter to him ? A. 1 dou't beiieve I did. To explain Mrs. Slorse to Moulton was not our habit. Q. he says, in this letter: "1 will promise that ins SECRET OF HER LIF2, as she calls it, shall iiot be mentioned." Whose life did she refer to there, as you Interpreted the letter? A. It is not for rue to say for I do n t recollect. It Is not my language. 2. Tho Ianguaj;e wa3 addressed to ycu, was it not? A. It was. Q. Afd you t ok the letter to Moulton to have it kep, safe? A Yes, sir. but it was Mrs. Morse's letter to me about what Tilton had said, and now yon ask me to s-iy what two women said, and what 1 thought about it? Q. Yes, 1 ask you what you dii think alxrut It? A. And 1 tell you I don'c now. Q. Did you know teen? A. i coat suppose 1 did. Q. You formed no opinion about It? A 1 dou't suppose I did. A;y impression 13 that 1 didn't read ihe letter. Q. Le t us read a little further: (KeHdina) ' My dr.rllag rpent m;st of yesterday with me. he saU all sh had In th way cr money whs tl'j per week, which was for food and all the other household expenses, aside from rent, and this was (;iven her by the hand of Annie Toton every fcaturday.

She i old me he (TilUn) id not take any meals at home from the fact that she could not get suco fool as ho iiked to nourish his brain, (laughter.) -and so h took his meals at Mouiion's. Just think of tht. I am almost crazy with tha thought. Ko come and see me. I wi'l pioinisa that the secret of her life, aasha calls it, shall not be mentioned. I Know U is haid to bring It up, as you must have suffered intensely, and we all will, I tear, till released by deatn." Now, did you know what she did refer to In Ihm nddrevsmg you? A. Do you ask my resent knowledge? Q. At the time you received that letter didn't you know what Mrs. Morse re?erred to in speaklrgof the secret of Mis. Tiitoa's life, which she was not to mention in your presence? A. I reply to you specifically about that sentence, what 1 hae to'd you generally about the whole letter, that I don't reniftmber what I thought about the contents of it. Q. Didnotyou tuink It referred to domestic trouble in that family? A. I can't sav that I thought it did when 1 have Just stated that 1 don't remember what I thousht. Q. ever minu emerging upon n. Did "you not think it referred to the charge that Tllton had made against you of improper solicitations? A. 1 do not remember what l mougiii acom, ii in any way, manner or soil, (i It was a t.iing that did not make any impression on your mind, was it? A. My impression is that I did not even read it. Q. How? A. My impression is that I never read the letter through. Q. Why did you want it Kept safe and take it to Moulton lor, then? V. MOULTOX WAS THE DEPOSITORY pretty mach of all the papers that reiatea in any way to this cae. Q. Oh, did this letter relate to this case? A. It related to it by this that His. Morso and Tilton were adversaries. Q. Well, did you lead it lar enough to flud tht oat? A. I knew that, sir, without reading that letter. Q. Y'ou did? . A. Y'es, sir. 4, Did yoa instinctively know without reading it what was in the letter so as to come to the conclusion that it related to this difficulty and so take it to Mr. Sloulton for safe kepp'.ng? A. A letter from M n. Morse would go to Moulton any how, whether I knew the contents or not. Q. That is n.iii what I p-sked? A. It is the butstroca of what yon did. Q. No. If vou didn't ascertain the contents of that letter bv reading it, bow did it happen that vou took it to Moul tou upon tha theory tüat it lelated to some dimculiy that existed between vourself nd Mr. Tilton, or between Mrs. Morse? A. You taka a letter and gance your eye ever it and see wnat lis contents relaie to, and then you don't tare about golDg through it. Q. Is that the way you did? A. 1 presum so. I doa't recollect. Q- You think you looked into it Jar enough to see that it related to this matter? A. Just onoigh to seo it waa a oomplaüu about TUlou ua hia family. Q. Did you look at that letter Just enough to see th&t it referred to the difficulty in that family, speaking of this teeret ot Mrs. Tilton's. which was no: to ba mentioned In your presence if you came tosc-e her? A. I dou't recollect It. the witness continued: 1 dcii't know wbenI5rst heard that the scand'l had cat out, bm think the llrst intimation given me was la the Woodhu Ts card m v.ir lvri ' I don't now rrcaiY the letter.
